    - An automated form of processing,

    - Carried out on personal data,

    - For the objective of evaluating personal aspects about a natural person.

    AngelsDen is profiling the Service users as the automated processing of personal data by our Website allows us to analyze and to make predictions about individuals within our internal scoring system.

    This, however, is only possible, if we will receive your explicit consent.

    Furthermore, such profiling may happen by third-party providers through the Website or Service. We will inform you about such fact if possible.

    Currently, the automated processing by us does not lead to automated decision-making.
